I think those wheels would look wicked on our year of truck...

Stroker · 12-30-2003, 01:25 AM

Good looking wheels, be sure to post some pics of your truck with the new rubber. What size tires do you plan to use...

Crank · 12-30-2003, 02:21 AM

Take ya a gander. Maybe not the same rim, but almost and not same size, but... best I can do.

those are vintec's on that yellow and blue truck. bigger than 17" more like 20's in the back 18's up front or something.
what he is looking at is called the rodster or something? . 2 different wheels.

Crank · 12-30-2003, 03:34 AM

As I stated above, not the same rim, nor the same size. but... same look. They are almost identical if ur not 5 foot from 'em.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2003, 03:52 AM

18's front 20's rear and yes those are vintec's.. But those crager's are a close match...

onelow69 · 12-30-2003, 04:05 AM

Get them! They will look bad @$$!

still w.i.p '68 · 12-30-2003, 10:25 AM

The Cragars are called series 390 street pro,
I dig the old school look if you know what i mean, maybe vintage style is the proper term, and i believe the 17 inch dia will look great filling up those wheel wells...later

Where can you order them? Have you decided on tire sizes yet?

Stroker · 12-31-2003, 02:56 AM

They look a lot like the Rod 50. Is the Rod 50 a forged version of the same wheel?
